Statutory auditors' report on consolidated financial statements
To the Shareholders of Eutelsat Communications,
Opinion
In our capacity as statutory auditors of Eutelsat Communications (the Company) and in accordance with the request of the management in connection with the trading of the Company's shares on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market, we have audited the consolidated financial statements of Eutelsat Communications and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2025, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at June 30, 2025, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in France, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
◼ Valuation of fixed assets and useful life of satellites
As of June 30, 2025, your Company's fixed assets, including goodwill, amount to € 5.2 billion, representing 74% of the total balance sheet of €7.0 billion. These fixed assets mainly consist of goodwill and customer contracts and associated relationships accounted for in the context of business combinations, geostationary orbit satellites (GEO) and low-earth orbit satellites (LEO) in service or under construction, spectrum rights, right of use and ground equipment.
Goodwill is mainly related to GEO perimeter (€665 million). This goodwill is tested with a cash-generating unit corresponding to the perimeter of Eutelsat Communications before OneWeb acquisition.
Cash-generating units for the testing of the GEO satellites and other related fixed assets correspond to the orbital positions, carrying one or more GEO satellites, as well as customer contracts and associated relationships.
The Eutelsat Group's low-earth orbit satellite constellation consists of several assets, each of which are essential to properly operate the network: spectrum rights that have an indefinite useful economic life, satellites and ground equipment. The constellation is tested as a whole in a single cash-generating unit.
Notes 7.1.1 to 7.1.4 to the consolidated financial statements describe the methods used to measure goodwill, to amortize customer contracts and associated relationships, the methods used for impairment of fixed assets including goodwill.
We considered that the valuation of these assets and the determination of the depreciation period of satellites in orbit are a key audit matters due to (i) their significance in the Group's financial statements, (ii) the estimates necessary to determine the expected useful life of the satellites and the operating cash flow horizon based on technical assessments, (iii) the judgment required to define the cash-generating units, and (iv) the estimates and assumptions used to assess their recoverable value, most often based on discounted cash flow forecasts whose achievement is inherently uncertain.
Audit matter Audit response
We considered:
- the work performed by Eutelsat's management to determine the expected useful life of the satellites and the consistency of the useful life used with the available technical data;
- the procedures for implementing the impairment tests, in particular the definition of the cash-generating units;
- the methods used to estimate recoverable values of goodwill and the other assets of the cash-generating units.
Particular attention was paid to the impairment tests of (i) goodwill and (ii) cash-generating units for which the carrying value is close to the estimated recoverable amount and to those with a limited performance history given the recent launches of satellites.
We also assessed the main estimates used by Eutelsat's management to prepare cash flow forecasts based on available information, including market prospects, order books and past performances. We assessed the relevance of the discount rates and long-term growth rates used, with the assistance of our financial valuation experts, and carried out sensitivity tests on the recoverable values determined by Eutelsat's management.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the information in Notes 7.1.1 to 7.1.4 to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition and bad debt
Group's revenue for the year ended June 30, 2025, amounted to € 1.2 billion ; trade receivables and contract assets recorded in the Group's balance sheet amounted to € 0.4 billion as of June 30, 2025. The Group deals with multiple customers in France and abroad. Revenue recognized mainly derives from contracts with customers for the provision of satellite capacity, covering periods ranging from several months to several years.
Revenues from customer contracts are recognized according to the methods described in Note 6.1 to the consolidated financial statements. The customers are mainly international telecommunication operators, broadcasters and other users of commercial satellite communications as well as distributors.
As described in Note 7.3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, allowance for bad debt is determined on the basis of a statistical approach of expected credit losses by region, after taking into account deposits and guarantees received, and supplemented, where applicable, by specific reserves in the event of failure to make contractual payments or significant financial difficulties of certain identified customers.
We considered that revenue recognition and the determination of allowance for bad debt are key audit matters due to their significant contribution in the Group's financial statements, the diversity and volume of contracts between the Group and its clients, and the judgment required to assess the recoverability of trade receivables throughout the duration of the contracts.
Audit matter Audit response
Our audit approach related to revenue recognition and allowance for bad debt includes both internal controls' testing and substantive procedures on the accounts themselves.
As part of our work on internal controls we read and discussed the procedures implemented by the Group, performed walkthroughs and tested certain identified key controls (including IT application controls).
Our substantive procedures, related to revenue recognition and to allowance for bad debt, notably consisted in:
- analyzing the contractual clauses on a sample of contracts, in particular the most significant new contracts of the period and certain specific transactions, in order to analyze the applicable accounting treatment;
- assessing the main assumptions used for the revenue recognition;
- examining with Management the reasons for late payment of certain clients and the forecasted recovery levels in the context of Ukrainian crisis by considering, among other things, factors such as security deposits, negotiated payment plans, payment history and business relationships between these customers and the Group;
- Assessing and testing the calculation of the allowance for bad debt and its compliance with the Group's methodology.
Finally, we assessed the appropriateness of the information provided in Notes 6.1 and 7.3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Other information
Other information consists of the information included in the Board of directors' management report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The board of directors is responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial statement in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
The consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Board of directors
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Use of our report
This report is addressed solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
This report is governed by French law. French courts have exclusive authority to decide on any litigation, claim or dispute as may arise from our engagement letter or this report, or any question relating to it.

(1) The comparative financial statements have been restated in order to adjust the position of the deferred income of the Eutelsat do Brasil LTDA subsidiary relating to a client contract dating from 2016 and including a financing component. The financial expense on the first years of the project had been under-valuated, resulting in an over-valuation of the reversal of deferred income. The restatements were reflected in an increase in deferred income of 34.3 million euros and a negative net impact on shareholders' equity of (34.3) million euros as of 1 July 2024 and 1 July 2023. They did not have an impact on the income statement as of 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023.

NOTE 1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
1.1 BUSINESS
Eutelsat Communications S.A. is one of the world's leading satellite operators, specialised in the global supply of connectivity and broadcasting services. Resulting from the acquisition of OneWeb by Eutelsat in 2023, effective since 28 September 2023, the Group is the first operator of fully integrated GEO-LEO satellites, with a fleet of 34 geostationary satellites and a low-earth orbit constellation (LEO) composed of 650 satellites. The Group meets the needs of its customers who are present in four key market segments: Video, where it broadcasts more than 6,550 television channels, and the fast-growing markets of Fixed Connectivity, Mobile Connectivity and Government Services.
The Group is committed to providing secure and resilient connectivity services that respect the environment, aimed at contributing to closing the digital divide. The Company is listed for trading on the Paris (Euronext Paris) and London (London Stock Exchange) stock exchanges under the ticker ETL
1.2 DURATION OF THE FISCAL YEAR
The fiscal year runs for a period of 12 months from 1 July to 30 June.
1.3 APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2025 have been established under the responsibility of the Board of Directors, which adopted them at its meeting of 4 August 2025. They will be submitted for approval to the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders taking place on 20 November 2025.
NOTE 2 KEY EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL PERIOD
2.1 AGREEMENT TO SELL PASSIVE TERRESTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS
On 9 August 2024, the Group entered into exclusivity and signed a put option agreement with the EQT Infrastructure VI fund ("EQT") with respect to its passive ground infrastructure assets. The contemplated transaction would consist of the carve-out of the passive assets (land, buildings, support infrastructure, antennas and connectivity circuits for the combined portfolio of teleports and SNPs (Satellite Network Portal) to form a new company which would be incorporated as a standalone legal entity. EQT will own 80% of the share capital, while the Group will remain committed as a long-term shareholder, major customer and partner of the new company with a 20% holding alongside EQT. The contemplated transaction values the new entity at an enterprise value of 790 million euros. On 30 November 2024, at the end of the consultation process with the relevant employee representative bodies, the Group exercised its put option, leading to the signature of a binding Share Purchase Agreement with EQT, which is subject to the customary conditions precedent.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar year 2026. On completion of the transaction, the Group will enter into a long-term framework Master Services Agreement (MSA) covering the services to be provided to the Group by the new company.
For the transaction to be finalised, certain customary preconditions precedent will need to be met, notably the approval of the competent regulatory authorities. Given the global footprint of the assets involved in the transaction, the Group expects to require regulatory clearance from a number of authorities and jurisdictions. Furthermore, the Group is in the process of implementing the necessary regulatory, legal and practical measures to enable the transaction to be completed. These include the processes required to identify the assets recorded in the Group's financial statements that fall within the scope of the transaction, the creation of the legal entities and the transfer of the applicable assets to the relevant entities required to complete the transaction, and the legal requirements associated with these steps. These operations are still in progress as of 30 June 2025. The assets and liabilities identified which fall within the scope of the transaction have been reclassified as of 30 June 2025 under assets held for sale (see Note 7.5 "Assets and liabilities held for sale").
2.2 IRIS² CONSTELLATION
On 16 December 2024, SpaceRISE, the consortium comprising the Group, Hispasat and SES, signed the agreement that will see the consortium design, build, and operate the IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite) constellation on behalf of the European Union under a public-private partnership (PPP) model in the form of a concession with an initial duration of 12 years.
The constellation will comprise around 290 spacecraft, including 264 low-earth orbit (LEO) and 18 medium-earth orbit (MEO) satellites, and is expected to enter into service in 2030. The EU and Member States will be the anchor customers of the IRIS2 constellation, which will deliver enhanced communication solutions and high-speed broadband connectivity for consumers, governments and businesses, reinforcing Europe's digital sovereignty and security. The project is valued at 10.6 billion euros, with the public funding representing around 60% of the total project cost.
The Group will act as Consortium System Development Prime, the technical authority within the consortium. In this role it will leverage its unique LEO expertise and make available its priority spectrum rights in the Ku band to lead on the design of the LEO segment of the constellation. The Group will invest around 2 billion euros in the constellation's dedicated payload which it will control and sell directly to its customers. The Group expects to generate substantial revenues from its anchor EU customers as well as from the global distribution of its LEO capacities to commercial customers.
2.3 COMMISSIONING OF NEW SATELLITES AND MISSION TERMINATION
The EUTELSAT 36D satellite entered into service at 36°E on 23 September 2024. All services migrated from the EUTELSAT 36B to the new satellite during the nights of 23 to 26 September.
Having reached the end-of-life, the EUTELSAT 33E satellite was successfully deorbited on 23 October 2024.
On 1 November, the EUTELSAT 33F satellite, which had replaced EUTELSAT 33E in 2023, began its operations in inclined orbit, extending its life for at least a further two years. Services that are not compatible with the inclined orbit have migrated to other positions.
On 11 December 2024, the satellite previously known as EUTELSAT 36B, having been relocated to the 50.5°E orbital position following the entry into service of EUTELSAT 36D, was declared operational under the new name EUTELSAT 50A.
Between December 2024 and June 2025, several reconfiguration stages were implemented on the EUTELSAT KONNECT satellite, to transfer all the capacity from spot beam Europe to spot beam Africa. At the end of these operations, all European spot beams are now switched off and the satellite has entered the operations known as "mode 2" as planned, following the entry into service of EUTELSAT KONNECT VHTS for European operations.
As EUTELSAT 16WA had reached its end-of-life, it was withdrawn from the commercial fleet on 7 March 2025 before being successfully deorbited on 11 June 2025.
2.4 CAPITAL INCREASE TO SECURE THE EXECUTION OF THE COMPANY'S LONG-TERM STRATEGIC VISION
On 19 June 2025, Eutelsat announced a contemplated capital increase in the amount of 1.35 billion euros, anchored by its key reference shareholders, to secure the execution of its long-term strategic vision. This capital raise would be realised by way of (i) a reserved capital increase of 716 million euros to be subscribed by the French State via the Agence des Participations de l'Etat ("APE"), Bharti Space Limited, CMA CGM and the Fonds Stratégique de Participations ("FSP"), and (ii) a rights issue of 634 million euros (the "Rights Issue") which would be subscribed by the above investors pro-rata their shareholdings post the Reserved Capital Increase. The amounts of the shareholdings and the partners in the project have changed since this announcement (see Note 9 "Subsequent events").
This capital increase is subject inter alia to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held around the end of the third quarter of calendar 2025 and to the customary regulatory approvals.
At the balance sheet date, taking into account the contemplated capital increase announced on 19 June 2025, and the confirmation of the firm commitment of its leading shareholders, the Group has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations and finance its current operations for a foreseeable period of at least eighteen months. In this context, the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2025 have been established on a going concern basis.
NOTE 3 SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements cover Eutelsat Communications S.A., its subsidiaries and entities over which it directly or indirectly exercises joint control or a significant influence (considered together as the "Eutelsat Group" or the "Group").
Accounting principles
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has direct or indirect control. Control is defined by the power to direct the financial and operational policies generally, but not systematically, combined with a shareholding of more than 50% of the voting rights. The existence and effects of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible, the power to appoint the majority of members of the governing bodies and the existence of veto rights are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated under the full consolidation method from the date the Group gains control. They are de-consolidated as of the date on which the Group loses control. The portion of equity ownership that is not directly or indirectly attributable to the Group is booked under non-controlling interests.
The financial statements of entities under joint control are consolidated on an equity basis where these are considered to be joint ventures and based on the equity percentage of each item on the balance sheet and income statement where they are considered to be joint activities.
The financial statements of associates over which the Group exerts significant influence are consolidated using the equity method. Significant influence is presumed where at least/more than 20% of the shares are held by the Group.

3.2 MAIN CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
3.2.1 Fiscal year ended 30 June 2025
On 26 July 2022, Eutelsat Communications S.A. and the key OneWeb shareholders signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a view to a business combination between the two companies via a share exchange transaction. On 28 September 2023, Eutelsat Communications S.A. announced that its business combination with OneWeb had become effective following approval by the Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting of Eutelsat shareholders held that same day.
The work on the allocation of the acquisition price was completed in September 2024, leading to some minor changes relative to the previous preliminary allocation. The allocation of the acquisition price results in the recognition of goodwill of 27 million euros, determined as follows:
OneWeb balance sheet at 100% (in millions of euros) Non-current assets 2,020.0 Current assets 268.0 Non-current liabilities (440.0) Current liabilities (283.0) Pre-existing contractual relationship between OneWeb and Eutelsat 91.0 Fair value of the stock options 12.0 NET ASSETS ACQUIRED 1,668.0 ACQUISITION PRICE 1,695.0
GOODWILL 27.0
The main assets acquired relate to a Constellation composed of 620 satellites as of the acquisition date (September 2023). While the satellites or terrestrial stations taken individually have a finite lifespan, the Constellation has an non-finite lifespan owing to the orbital rights, which stand as a key asset within the Constellation.
The other changes in the consolidation scope concern the acquisition of OneWeb India Communications Private Limited ("OneWeb India"). Finalised on 20 September 2024, the transaction enabled the Group to obtain a 74% equity interest in the entity in exchange for an investment in OneWeb India of around 3 million euros. In a second phase, subject to foreign direct investment approval, put and call options will enable the Group to acquire the remaining 26% of the entity from Bharti Airtel Limited. The fair value of the put option is recognised as a liability of the Group. The Group recognised goodwill of 1.4 million euros on the finalisation of the transaction.
In addition, as detailed in Note 2.1, the Group is in the process of disposing of the passive assets of its teleports and SNP (Satellite Network Portal) assets. In anticipation of this transaction, the Group has set up five new legal entities, AntennaCo Holdings SAS, AntennaCo US LLC, AntennaCo UK, AntennaCo France and AntennaCo Srl, which will ultimately be used by the Group to implement the asset sale. These companies were not consolidated as of 30 June 2025 given their non-material nature.
In May 2025, the company Eutelsat America Corp., previously 100%-owned and fully consolidated, was absorbed by the company OneWeb Technologies.
3.2.2 Fiscal year ended 30 June 2024
On 26 July 2022, Eutelsat Communications S.A. and the key OneWeb shareholders signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a view to a business combination between the two companies via a share exchange transaction. On 28 September 2023, Eutelsat Communications S.A. announced that its business combination with OneWeb had become effective following approval by the Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting of Eutelsat Shareholders held that same day.
Prior to the transaction, the Eutelsat Group held a 22.91% equity interest in OneWeb (through its subsidiary Eutelsat S.A.) which was consolidated using the equity method. After the transaction, the Eutelsat Group holds 100% of the Class A shares in OneWeb (directly and indirectly via its subsidiary Eutelsat S.A.).
In terms of OneWeb Holding's share capital, by way of exemption, there is however still one B "special share" held by the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. The rights attached to the B shares have been analysed as protective rights.
As required by IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" ("IFRS 3"), the management of Eutelsat Communications S.A. has determined that Eutelsat is the acquirer for accounting purposes based on:
- 1. the estimated relative voting rights of the Eutelsat and OneWeb shareholders within the Combined Group: after the transaction, the historical shareholders of Eutelsat Communications S.A. are in the majority with no one shareholder in OneWeb representing more than 30% of the voting rights that would give it a significant power within the Combined Group;
-
2. the composition of the governance and management bodies of the Combined Group agreed between the parties: the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat have retained their mandates after the transaction and the Board directors proposed by Eutelsat and its reference shareholders and those proposed by OneWeb and its main shareholders hold a respective eight and seven votes, with a casting vote for the Chair of the Board of Directors of Eutelsat;
-
3. the relative sizes of the Eutelsat Group and the OneWeb Group;
- 4. the equity interest progressively built up by Eutelsat in OneWeb since 2021;
- 5. the fact that the assets, revenues and net result of Eutelsat are larger than those of OneWeb in the last fiscal year for the two groups;
- 6. the fact that the registered office remains based in France at Issy-Les-Moulineaux.
In accordance with the principles of IFRS 3 on business combinations achieved in stages, the following two transactions were reflected in the financial statements at the Completion Date:
- first operation: remeasurement at fair value of the OneWeb shares previously accounted for by the equity method, resulting in a loss of 77.6 million euros recognised in Other exceptional income and expenses;
- second operation: registration of the takeover of all of the OneWeb shares.
These two operations are reflected in the financial statements of Eutelsat Communications S.A. as of 30 June 2024.
As a result, OneWeb has been fully consolidated since 28 September 2023. The capital increase carried out to compensate the contributions from OneWeb shareholders represents a value of 2,506.8 million euros, including 226.3 million euros in capital (capital increase as shown in the individual financial statements).
Between 1 July 2023 and 28 September 2023, OneWeb's investment was accounted for using the equity method, and the Group's share of earnings was a net loss of 28 million euros.
The acquisition price amounts to 1,695 million euros. This price was determined notably on the basis of Eutelsat Communications S.A.'s share price on the day of the takeover, and the fair value of the equity interest already held in OneWeb:
- 1,227 million euros for the 77.09% acquired within the framework of this transaction [226,252,053 new shares issued at a price corresponding to the 28 September market price of 5.425 euros/share];
- 365 million euros for the 22.91% at fair value [1,227 x 22.91/77.09]: this corresponds to the fair value of the OneWeb shares already held by Eutelsat Communications S.A.;
- 12 million euros corresponding to the fair value of the stock options already vested as of the closing date;
- 91 million euros corresponding to the pre-existing contractual relationship between OneWeb and the Eutelsat Group.
The work on the allocation of the acquisition price was carried out in the second half of our fiscal year. The allocation of the acquisition price results in the recognition of goodwill of 15 million euros, determined as follows:

The main assets acquired relate to a Constellation composed of 620 satellites.
If Eutelsat Communications S.A. had acquired OneWeb as of 1 July 2023, the Group's revenues would have been 1,221 million euros instead of 1,213 million euros, EBITDA 671.1 million euros instead of 718.9 million euros and the net result would have been reduced by (-124.4 million euros) to (434.1) million euros instead of (309.7) million euros.
In the tables in the Notes to the Balance sheet (Note 7), the "Scope entries" item corresponds to the impact of the acquisition of OneWeb in September 2023.
In January 2024, the Group sold its 50% equity interest in the Airbus OneWeb Satellites Group to the Airbus US Space & Defense Group.
The equity interest in the Airbus OneWeb Satellites (AOS) Group was measured at fair value as part of the takeover of the OneWeb Group and consequently the disposal of AOS for 75 million U.S. dollars did not result in a capital gain for the Group in the financial statements as of 30 June 2024.
The other changes in the consolidation scope concern the liquidation of the company Latam Corp. on 30 May 2024. This liquidation did not result in a gain or loss for the Eutelsat Group.
NOTE 4 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND VALUATION METHODS
4.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2025 have been established in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union and in force as of that date. The relevant texts are available for consultation on the following website: http:// ec.europa.eu/commission/index fr.
Since 1 July 2024, the Group has applied the new standards and interpretations outlined below and adopted by the European Union:
- amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": regarding the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent — Deferral of the effective date and non-current liabilities with restrictive covenants;
- amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases": Lease obligations arising from a sale and lease back;
- amendments to IAS 7 "Cash Flow Statements" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": Supplier financing arrangements.
These new standards have had no material impact on the Group's financial statements.
In addition, the following standards, applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2025, have not been applied early:
■ amendments to IAS 21 "The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates": No convertibility.
The Group does not apply the following standard which was adopted by the European Union as of the issue date of the consolidated financial statements but has yet to enter into force:
■ Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments — Proposed amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026).
The Group does not expect any significant effects on the consolidated financial statements linked to these standards.
The Group does not apply the following texts which had not been adopted by the European Union on the date of issue of the consolidated financial statements:
- IFRS 18 "Presentation of Financial Statements and Disclosures";
- IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without a Public Disclosure Obligation: Disclosures";
- draft amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Power purchase agreements";
- annual improvements Volume 11.
Pillar Two
The OECD's Pillar Two agreement has been implemented in French tax regulation since 1 January 2024. As a result. Eutelsat Communications S.A. and all its controlled entities fall within the scope of new tax and compliance obligations which may, depending on the effective tax rate (ETR) calculated for the individual jurisdictions where the Group operates, result in an additional tax increasing this ETR to 15%.
The application of the Pillar Two regulation did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements as of 30 June 2025.
4.2 FINANCIAL REPORTING RULES
4.2.1 Conversion of financial statements and transactions in foreign currencies
The reference currency and the presentation currency used to prepare the financial statements is the euro.
Each subsidiary located outside the euro zone maintains its accounting records in the currency that is most representative of their respective economic environments. Balance sheet items are translated into euros using the closing-rate method. Income statement items are converted at the average exchange rate for the period. Balance sheet and income statement translation adjustments arising from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded as translation adjustments under shareholders' equity. The Group does not consolidate any significant entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from these transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities at the closing date exchange rate are shown under the foreign exchange result.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of capitalisable advances made to foreign subsidiaries and forming part of the net investment in the consolidated subsidiary are recognised directly as a translation adjustment within shareholders' equity.
The main foreign currency used is the U.S. dollar. The closing exchange rate used is 1.170 U.S. dollars for 1 euro and the average exchange rate for the period is 1.128 U.S. dollars for 1 euro.
4.2.2 Reporting of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets and liabilities are those that the Group is looking to realise, use or settle during its normal operating cycle, which is less than 12 months. All the others are non-current assets and liabilities.
4.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The establishment of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgements that are likely to affect the amounts of certain assets, liabilities, income, and expenses appearing in these financial statements and their accompanying notes. The Group's management constantly updates its estimates and assessments using past experience in addition to other relevant factors in relation to the economic environment and the determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities within the framework of the preliminary allocation of the acquisition price of OneWeb. The closedown of the transactions underpinning these estimates and assumptions could result in significant adjustments to the amounts that are recognised in a subsequent financial period owing to the attendant uncertainty.
In preparing the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2025, the management has exercised judgement, particularly with regard to the recoverable amounts of assets, the recognition of revenues, the estimation of provisions and contingent liabilities assessment, the recognition of tax assets and liabilities, the assessment of customer risk and the determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities within the framework of the preliminary allocation of the acquisition price of OneWeb.
NOTE 5 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Prior to the takeover of OneWeb, the Group had considered that it operated in a single operational segment, basing that view on an assessment of services rendered and the nature of the associated risks, rather than on their purpose. This was the provision of satellite-based video, business and broadband networks, and mobile services mainly to international telecommunications operators and broadcasters, corporate network integrators and companies for their own needs.
The takeover of OneWeb on 28 September 2023 represents a strategic shift for the Group, whose ambition is to be a world leader in space-based telecommunications, offering customers fully integrated connectivity services worldwide. The network density and high data throughputs of Eutelsat's GEO satellites, combined with the low latency and broad coverage of OneWeb's LEO constellation, will open up new markets and applications for customers.
The integration of OneWeb is under way and has been reflected, and will continue to be reflected, in a number of changes over the coming months, impacting the Group's internal organisation and ultimately the performance indicators tracked by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who together make up the Group's main operational decision-making body. The integrated customer offerings will increasingly include synergies between the two businesses for the technological, commercial and financial offerings. The Group's support functions have been shared since February 2024. An integrated reporting process has been in place since April 2024. The Group thus continues to operate in a single operational sector.
At this stage, the performance indicators tracked by the main decision-makers remain as follows:
- revenues or income from ordinary activities;
- adjusted EBITDA, defined as the operating result before amortisation and depreciation, impairment of assets and other operating income and expenses, and the adjusted EBITDA profit margin on revenues;
- gross CAPEX, covering the acquisition of satellites and other tangible or intangible assets, as well as payments related to lease liabilities;
- the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (see Note 7.4.4 "Net Debt").

NOTE 6 NOTES TO THE INCOME STATEMENT
6.1 REVENUES
Accounting principles
Most of the contracts involve the supply of satellite capacity services delivered to distributor-customers (who retail the capacity to end users) and end users (who use the capacity for their own needs). These contracts usually cover periods ranging from several months to several years. Some contracts concern the provision of short-term satellite capacity for occasional use. For all of these contracts, revenues are recognised progressively as control over the capacity is transferred to the customer over the contract period according to the volume of units of satellite capacity sold (expressed in MHz or Mbps depending on the contract). The purpose of this method is to recognise revenues corresponding to the level of service provided to our clients for a given period, taking into account possible changes in the volume of units sold under the contract.
Some contracts include variable consideration, such as variable prices or free periods. For such contracts, the Group estimates the value of the consideration to which it will be entitled in return for providing the promised services to the customer and recognises this under revenues to the extent that it is considered highly probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.
At times the Group bears marketing (promotion, advertising, etc.) or technical expenses (especially antenna purchase and installation) on behalf of some customers. When these costs are not distinct from the service transferred to the customer, they represent the same performance obligation with the service delivered and the consideration payable to the customer is recognised as a reduction in transaction price. Where the consideration payable to the customer is paid in return for a separate service from the customer and corresponds to the fair value of the service for the Group, it is recognised under operating expenses.
Some contracts provide for early termination in return for the payment of penalties. When these penalties are paid as part of an amendment to a contract that concerns services covered by the existing contract, the services in the amended contract form only a single performance obligation with the services partially performed at the date of amendment. These penalties are then spread over the duration of the amended contract.
Upfront payments received are deferred as a contract liability to the extent that these exceed the cumulative revenue recognised. An assessment is performed to identify whether advance payments provide a significant financing benefit to the Group. Where a significant financing component that is the attributable to the provision of financing is identified, the Group adjusts the revenue to be recognised for the effect of discounting and unwinds the contract liability based on the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction with the customer. The applicable revenue and financing expense are presented on a gross basis.

| Selling, general and administrative expenses | 692 | 713 |
| TOTAL | 1,514 | 1,578 |
6.2.3 Share-based and similar compensation
Accounting principles
Share-based payments are measured at fair value at the grant date and are recognised under staff costs over the vesting period of the rights representing the benefit granted, with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity for equity-settled plans, or in company debts for cash-settled plans. They are revalued at each balance sheet date to take into account changes in vesting assumptions (employee turnover rate. likelihood of meeting performance criteria) and, for cash-settled plans, changes in market conditions (share price).
In addition to the plans in force within the Group as of 30 June 2023, the Group granted two new share-based plans on 11 November 2023, one paid in cash and the other in shares. The vesting of these shares is subject to an attendance requirement and the achievement of performance conditions.
The expense recognised in respect of these plans (excluding employer contributions) stood at 1.1 million euros for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2025 against 1.1 million euros for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2024.
The key features of the plans are as follows:

6.3 OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
Accounting principles
Other operating income and expenses comprise unusual, abnormal and infrequent income and expense items. They mostly include asset impairment charges, launch failure costs and the related insurance repayments, non-commercial disputes net of costs incurred, restructuring costs, income from asset disposals and the implications of scope changes (acquisition costs and disposal gains/losses).
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Other operating income | 10.4 | 3.1 |
| Other operating expenses | (218.6) | (780.2) |
| TOTAL | (208.2) | (777.0) |
As of 30 June 2025, other operating income is mainly composed of additional income from the C-Band and disposals of fixed assets. Other operating expenses mainly include goodwill impairment of 535 million euros, impairments on satellites amounting to 186 million euros, 19 million of costs relating to the abandonment of an investment project and 30 million euros of costs arising from changes in the consolidation scope, notably relating to the acquisition of OneWeb during the previous fiscal year, and to the planned sale of passive terrestrial infrastructure assets for this year. As of 30 June 2024, other operating income mainly includes 7.6 million euros in impairment reversals on the value of the AT1, AT2, 53A and 65WA satellites. Other operating expenses mainly include costs relating to the business combination and integration with OneWeb amounting to 38.7 million euros, the fair value adjustment of the 22.91% equity interest in OneWeb held by Eutelsat S.A. amounting to 77 million euros. This item also includes impairments on satellites amounting to 25.7 million euros and impairments on customer relationships amounting to 58.8 million euros.
6.4 FINANCIAL RESULT

The interest expense as of 30 June 2025 has increased in line with the evolution of interest rates over the period.
The amount of capitalised interest depends on the state of progress and number of satellite construction programmes recorded during the relevant fiscal year. The interest rate used to determine the amount of interest expense eligible for capitalisation is 4.37% as of 30 June 2025 versus 4.87% as of 30 June 2024.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments as of 30 June 2025 and 2024 mainly include the ineffective portion of the time value of derivatives that are qualified in a hedging relationship.
6.5 INCOME TAX
The Group's income tax expense breaks down as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|

As of 30 June 2024, other permanent differences mainly include tax expenses relating to the impacts of the fair value adjustment on OneWeb shares held by Eutelsat S.A. for 19.9 million euros, other non-activated tax losses for 3.2 million euros, the impact of exchange rate differences on the deferred tax positions of the Satellites Mexicanos and Eutelsat Do Brasil subsidiaries for 2.9 million euros, tax disputes for 3.7 million euros and other permanent differences for 7.7 million euros.
6.6 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Accounting principles
EPS (earnings per share) are calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to shareholders of Eutelsat Communications by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares are not considered in the earnings per share calculation.
The following table shows the reconciliation between net income and net earnings attributable to shareholders (basic and diluted) used to compute earnings per share (basic and diluted):
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Net result | (309.7) | (1,105.9) |

NOTE 7 NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET
7.1 FIXED ASSETS
7.1.1 Goodwill and other intangibles
Accounting principles
Goodwill
Business combinations are recognised using the purchase accounting method. The consideration transferred in return for control of the acquired entity is measured at fair value and includes contingent consideration, taking into account probability of occurrence. The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity are recognised at their fair values. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are excluded from the transferred consideration and are recognised under other operating income and expenses once they are incurred.
At the acquisition date, non-controlling interests may be computed at their fair value or as a portion of identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. The option for applying either of these two methods can be exercised on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
At the first consolidation, all assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity are measured at their fair value. In a takeover by successive acquisitions, the investment previously held is restated at its fair value at the acquisition date, while the ensuing gains or losses are recognised under income.
Goodwill is measured in the functional currency of the acquired entity at the date of the combination at an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed. They are tested for impairment as detailed in Note 7.1.4.
Customer contracts and relationships
Customer contracts and relationships acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value is set by referring to the generally accepted methods such as those based on revenues or market value. These assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their economic life, which is estimated on the basis of the average duration of the contractual relationships existing at the date of acquisition of Eutelsat and the expected contract renewal rates. The main customer relationship recognised in the Group's financial statements is that of Eutelsat S.A. amortised over a 20-year period.
Eutelsat brand
The Eutelsat brand was recognised when Eutelsat S.A. was acquired by Eutelsat Communications in 2005.
Other intangibles
Other intangibles are composed of the cost of capitalised development, licences, priority rights with the International Telecoms Union (ITU) and orbital rights.
Development costs are capitalised and amortised over a period of 3 to 7 years if the Group can demonstrate that:
- it has the technical capacity to realise the intangible asset and use it or sell it;
- it has the intention and capacity to complete the software and use it or sell it;
- it has the capacity to use or sell the intangible asset;
- there is a likelihood that the intangible asset will yield future economic benefits for the Group;
- there are sufficient technical, financial or other resources to realise the intangible;
- it has the capacity to accurately assess the expenses attributable to the intangible during its development phase.
Expenses incurred for research (or during the research phase of an in-house project) are recognised as expenses once they are incurred.
Spectrum, orbital rights and licenses are amortised over their useful lives which are as follows:
- for spectrum and orbital rights, between 13 and 23 years;
- for licences, between 1 and 13 years;
- for Ku and Ka band spectrum rights and licenses for its low-Earth orbit constellation, over an indefinite useful life.

7.1.2 Tangible assets and construction in progress
Accounting principles
Satellites and other tangible assets are recognised at their acquisition cost, which includes all costs directly attributable to making the asset ready for use, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment.
Satellite costs include all expenses incurred in bringing individual satellites into operational use, in particular manufacturing, launch and launch insurance costs, capitalised interest, satellite performance incentives, and costs directly associated with the monitoring of the satellite programme (studies, staff and consultancy costs).
Borrowing costs incurred for the financing of tangible assets are capitalised with respect to the portion incurred during the period of construction. In the absence of a loan specifically related to the asset under construction, the capitalised interest is calculated on the basis of a capitalisation rate, which is equal to the weighted average of the Group's borrowing costs.
The useful lives adopted by the Group are as follows:
- 12 to 24 years for the geostationary satellites;
- 7 years for the low-Earth orbit satellites;
- 5 to 10 years for traffic monitoring and other equipment;
- 2 to 5 years for computer equipment;
- 3 to 10 years for leasehold arrangements and improvements, including related to satellite network portals.
The satellites are amortised as of their technical entry into service. The period between the launch of a satellite and its technical entry into service can vary between one and nine months depending on the propulsion method used by the satellite and, in the case of low-earth orbit satellites, the configuration of the constellation. Low-earth orbit satellites operate as part of a constellation which requires a minimum number of satellites to provide a viable commercial service and, as a result, the useful lives of individual low-earth orbit satellites are limited to the point that the constellation is no longer capable of delivering a viable commercial service.
The Group conducts an annual review of the remaining useful lives of its in-orbit satellites on the basis of both their forecast utilisation and the technical assessment of their useful lives. In case the useful life is reduced or extended, the amortisation schedule is revised prospectively.
"Construction in progress" primarily consists of milestone completion payments for the construction of future satellites and advances paid in respect of launch vehicles and related launch insurance costs, in addition to ground network assets that are under construction.
The changes in tangible assets over the past two fiscal years are as follows:

(1) The scrapping and associated reversal of impairment mainly relates to the shutdown of the E33E satellite (see Note 2.3) and several transponders.
(2) As of 30 June 2024, the entry into the scope of consolidation relates to OneWeb and the amounts correspond mainly to the net book value of the assets as of 28 September 2023, i.e. the satellites, the ground antenna assets and the associated property, plant and equipment. There were no significant impacts as of 30 June 2025.
(3) Transfers during the fiscal year ended 30 June 2025 mainly correspond to the entry into commercial service of the E36D satellite as outlined in Note 2.3. and to investments in the terrestrial network of the low-Earth orbit activity, mainly the activation of the 20 Airbus OS and SpaceX satellites.
(4) Mainly includes the assets classified as held for sale, see Note 7.5.2 "Assets held for sale".
(5) The impairment losses as of 30 June 2025 mainly concern the E117WB, E117WA and E115WB satellites.
As of 30 June 2025 and 2024, the Group recognised respective impairment losses on satellites of (182.9) million euros and (20.7) million euros.
The expected dates of entry into service for satellites under construction at the balance sheet date are as follows:
| GEO Projects | Years |
|---|---|
| Flexsat Americas E113WX | 2028 calendar year |
| Flexsat Asia E119B-TH10 | 2028 calendar year |
7.1.3 Rights of use in respect of leases
Accounting principles
Contracts under which the Group uses a specific asset are recognised as assets on the balance sheet in the form of a right of use, and a liability on the liabilities side, where the contractual terms are such that they qualify as leases, i.e. they transfer control of the asset over the entire lease term.
Rights of use are generally amortised over the term of the lease covering the non-cancellable period supplemented, where applicable, by renewal options, which the Group is reasonably certain to exercise.
The discount rate used to calculate the value of the right of use and the lease liability is determined, for each contract, on the basis of the associated estimated marginal debt rate.
Assets with a low unit value and leases with a term of less than 12 months are recognised as expenses.
During the last two fiscal years, the rights of use saw the following changes:

No renewal options have been considered to determine the term of the leases.
(2) The scope entries mainly follow the integration of OneWeb as of 30 June 2024.
7.1.4 Fixed asset value tests
Accounting principles
Goodwill and non-amortisable intangible assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, such as the brand name and the low-earth orbit priority rights with the International Telecoms Union (ITU) and orbital rights are tested for impairment annually, or whenever an event occurs which suggests that they may be impaired.
Amortisable assets
For tangible fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives, an impairment test is performed when there is an external or internal indication that their recoverable values may be lower than their carrying amounts (for example, the loss of a major customer or a technical incident affecting a satellite).
An impairment test consists of appraising the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of its fair value net of disposal costs and its value in use. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable value of a particular asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) with which it is associated. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. In order to define its CGUs, the Group takes into account the conditions of use of its fleet and in particular the capacity of certain satellites to be used as back-up for other satellites.
CGUs correspond to orbital positions, carrying one or more satellites, as well as customer contracts and relationships (after taking into account the technical or economic interdependence of their cash flows). The low-earth orbit constellation, including the ground network assets and the associated International Telecoms Union (ITU) priority rights, represents a single CGU as none of the individual assets generate cash inflows independent of the other assets as all these assets are required to deliver connectivity services to customers.
The Group estimates value in use on the basis of estimated future cash flows. These are generated by the asset or the CGU during its useful life and are discounted using the Group's WACC defined for the impairment testing, based on the medium-term plan approved by Management and reviewed by the Board of Directors. Revenues in the medium-term plan are based upon the order backlog for each CGU, market studies, and the deployment plan for existing and future satellites. Costs included in the plan that are used for the impairment test include in-orbit insurance costs, technical and commercial costs directly attributable to the CGU tested, as well as tax expenses. Beyond a maximum five-year period, cash flows are estimated on the basis of constant rates of growth or decline for the activity related to geostationary satellites and specific rates for the activity related to satellites in low Earth orbit due to the investment phases prior to this activity in development.
The fair value net of selling costs is equal to the amount that could be received from the sale of the asset (or of one CGU) in the course of an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs relating to the transaction.
Impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses are recognised under the items other operating income and other operating expenses.
Goodwill
The Group's historical goodwill, i.e. before the takeover of OneWeb, is the result of acquisitions related to the geostationary satellite operations. This goodwill is therefore tracked on the basis of the cashflows arising from the activity linked to the geostationary satellites.
The acquisition of OneWeb has resulted in the recognition of additional goodwill amounting to 27 million euros.
At end-June 2025, the Group's goodwill was almost exclusively allocated to the geostationary satellite activity.
At the end of June 2025, as part of the preparation of the full-year financial statements, the Group carried out two goodwill impairment tests:
■ an initial test based on the assets and recoverable value of the Group's geostationary satellite activities ("GEO goodwill impairment test"); and
■ a second test based on the assets and recoverable value of the Group's low-earth orbit satellite activities ("LEO goodwill impairment test").
The results of these tests, after the reclassification of assets and liabilities held for sale, are presented below.
GEO goodwill impairment test
The forecasts used are based on the Group's five-year business plan approved by the Board of Directors on 13 February 2025 and covering the period through to the 2028-29 fiscal year. The period has been extended to the 2033 fiscal year based on sales and cost models and, beyond that, the test includes a terminal value with a negative growth to perpetuity assumption of -1.5%. The Group considers it relevant to use projections beyond five years given the long-term visibility it has over a significant portion of its business activity and on its expected growth profile which is more accurately captured in the long-term plan.
The discount rate applied is a WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) of 8.0%. The main operating assumptions impacting the recoverable value of the assets are the level of EBITDA and the amount of capital expenditure required for the realisation of the cash flows assumed in the forecast. The operational assumptions in the long-term plan are based on internal market models of the trends in the Group's business growth and on market data provided by independent experts.
The GEO goodwill impairment test carried out as of 31 December 2024 resulted in an impairment loss of 535 million euros. The impairment is due to the cashflow forecasts adopted by the Group in its five-year plan, reflecting the lower future cash flows the Group expects to be able to generate from its existing assets. This reflects the increased competition in the connectivity market and a greater-than-expected reduction in market demand for video services, which have a more significant impact in the Group's most recent forecasts. This is consistent with the impact already witnessed by the Group on Video customer renewal rates and a shift in demand from GEO to LEO connectivity services.
As of 30 June 2025, the result of this test identified no impairments to be recognised for the second half of the fiscal year, with the calculation indicating headroom of 114.2 million euros.
The test is particularly sensitive to the discount rate (a WACC of 8.0%) and the growth rate applied to perpetuity (-1.5%). The sensitivity analyses for this parameter on the impairment of this CGU's assets are as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | Assumption used |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WACC | 7.3% | 7.5% | 7.8% | 8.0% | 8.3% | 8.5% | 8.8% |
| Headroom in | 387.6 | 291.5 | 200.5 | 114.2 | 32.2 | (45.7) | (119.9) |
| Growth rate | (2.3%) | (2.0%) | (1.8%) | (1.5%) | (1.3%) | (1.0%) | (0.8%) |
| Headroom | (13.9) | 26.6 | 69.3 | 114.2 | 161.5 | 211.4 | 264.2 |
LEO goodwill impairment test
The Group determined the recoverable value of the LEO CGU on a discounted cash flow basis. It concluded that cash flow forecasts could be projected through to 2040, corresponding to a 15-year period selected for the calculation as of 30 June 2025, compared with a 10-year period for the calculation as of 30 June 2024. These forecasts include the five-year plan approved by the Board of Directors until 2028-29. This Board-approved forecast has been extended based on known information relating to the Group's future plans. This extended forecast period reflects the long-term investment cycle associated with the Group's business, notably within the framework of the IRIS² project. To determine the value in use, a terminal value is included in 2040, based on the assumed perpetual replacement of the constellation. A growth rate of 3.5% is included in this calculation and the discount rate used is 12.7%.
The forecasts on which the impairment test is based assume continued growth in LEO revenues in the short and medium terms, in line with the five-year plan approved by the Board and correlated with LEO market growth over the longer term. To achieve these forecasts, the company will need to secure contracts for 340 additional satellites to extend the lifespan of the existing constellation, complete the IRIS² program, reach technological maturity to reduce capacity costs, and obtain the associated financing for all the investments.
The result of this test identified no impairments to be recognised, with the calculation showing headroom of 419.8 million euros.
The test is particularly sensitive to the discount rate applied (a WACC of 12.7%), the growth rate to perpetuity applied (3.5%) and the cost of the terminal value capacity (0.87 million euros/ Gbit/s). The sensitivity analyses for these parameters on the impairment of this CGU's assets are as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | Assumption used |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WACC | 11.5% | 12.0% | 12.5% | 12.7% | 13.0% | 13.5% | 14.0% |

Depreciable assets
Geostationary satellites
Concerning the impairment tests carried out on the geostationary orbital position CGUs as of 30 June 2025, the cash flows used are based on the period of the Group's updated five-year business plan approved by the Board of Directors on 13 February 2025, and then on the cash flows extended to the end of the lifespan of each satellite based on a normative growth rate.
As of 30 June 2025, these tests led to the recognition of an impairment charge of 185.8 million euros on the geostationary satellites (see Note 7.1.2 "Property, plant and equipment and assets in progress" and Note 7.1.3 "Rights of use in respect of leases"). As of 30 June 2024, the impairment charge was 20.7 million euros on the geostationary satellites. The impairments recognised reflect the insufficiency of the expected discounted cash flows compared to the carrying values of the assets for certain of the Group's orbital positions. This reflects the fact that, for these orbital positions, the Group's most recent forecasts indicate lower operating cash flows due notably to the competitive market forces which intensified during the period.
Low-earth orbit constellation
The carrying value of the Group's low-earth orbit constellation was determined at the time of the purchase price allocation based on a replacement cost. This value is then depreciated over the life of each satellite.
Continued investment in this constellation until the start-up of the IRIS² constellation is essential to maintaining priority rights with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). As the Group expects to operate the satellites on an ongoing basis, the CGU's useful life is considered to be infinite. As a result, the recoverable value of the constellation has been assessed through a single test of the LEO CGU, including the OneWeb goodwill and reflecting the Group's long-term strategy.
7.1.5 Purchase commitments
In addition to the items recognised on the balance sheet, the Company had entered into commitments with suppliers for the acquisition of assets (satellites and other assets) and the provision of services amounting to a total of 731.8 million euros as of 30 June 2025 and 405 million euros as of 30 June 2024.
The following table lists the future payments in respect of these commitments as of 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025:
| (in millions of euros) | As of 30 June 2024 | As of 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|

| TOTAL | 405.0 | 731.8 |
As of 30 June 2025, these mainly concern purchase commitments with Airbus.
With respect to the previous fiscal year ended 30 June 2024 note that, on 31 March 2023, 100 million U.S. dollars had been paid to OneWeb within the framework of the advance payment instalments for the constellation capacity negotiated during the implementation of the exclusive distribution agreement signed between the Group and OneWeb concomitantly with the final business combination agreement.
The outstanding total commitment stood at 175 million U.S. dollars, of which 100 million U.S. dollars to be paid in March 2024, followed by 75 million U.S. dollars in March 2025. With the OneWeb Group having been integrated into the Eutelsat Communications Group scope as of 30 June 2024, the purchase commitments between OneWeb and Eutelsat Communications entities no longer appear but have become intra-group.
7.2 INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES
Accounting principles
The Group's investments in associates recognised under the equity method are initially booked at their cost of acquisition, including as appropriate the goodwill arising. Their book value is then increased or reduced to take into account the Group's share in the profits or losses realised after the acquisition date.
After the application of the equity method and should there be an event indicating a potential loss in value, the book value may be the subject of an impairment in the event that its recoverable value would be below its carrying amount.
As of 30 june 2025, investments in associates corresponded to the Group's share in First Tech Web.

7.3 RECEIVABLES, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ON CUSTOMER CONTRACTS AND COSTS TO OBTAIN AND FULFIL CONTRACTS
Accounting principles
Accounts receivable are recorded at their nominal value. They are subject to impairment, recognised as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, in order to cover the risk of expected future losses. These impairments are determined on the basis of a statistical approach of expected credit losses by market and region, after taking into account the deposits and guarantees received, and supplemented, where applicable, by a specific impairment in the event of failure to make contractual payments or significant financial difficulties on the part of a customer.
Assets held under customer contracts include assets relating to revenue recognised in respect of variable prices or free periods not yet invoiced to the customer. The deferred costs of obtaining contracts correspond to the consideration paid to the customer. Contract fulfilment costs include the deferral of the cost of sales of Broadband terminals.
Liabilities related to customer contracts consist of prepayments received from customers or invoiced prior to delivery of the services.
Receivables, assets and liabilities on customer contracts and the costs to obtain and fulfil contracts are summarised as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 Adjusted(1) |
30 June 2025 |

(1) The comparative financial statements have been restated in order to adjust the position of the deferred income of the Eutelsat do Brasil LTDA subsidiary relating to a client contract dating from 2016 and including a financing component. The financial expense on the first years of the project had been under-valuated, resulting in an over-valuation of the reversal of deferred income. The restatements were reflected in an increase in deferred income of 34.3 million euros and a negative net impact on shareholders' equity of (34.3) million euros as of 1 July 2024 and 1 July 2023. They did not have an impact on the income statement as of 30 June 2024 an 30 June 2023.
7.3.1 Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable (matured and non-matured) break down as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Non-matured receivables | 134.5 | 107.7 |
| Matured receivables between 0 and 90 days | 55.9 | 84.7 |
| Matured receivables between 90 and 365 days | 53.8 | 86.6 |
| Matured due for more than 365 days | 143.5 | 167.6 |
| Impairment | (114.0) | (119.2) |
| TOTAL | 273.7 | 327.3 |
Receivables due for more than 365 days as of 30 June 2025 include invoices for security deposits amounting to 4.8 million euros (versus 7.2 million euros as of 30 June 2024). These do not involve any risk of impairment in the income statement. The provision for impairment of 119.2 million euros as of 30 June 2025 covers 73% of the receivables due for more than 365 days excluding invoiced deposits and 36% of all overdue receivables.
In addition, given the nature of the activities and the geographies in which it operates, the Group is periodically required to collect matured receivables due for more than one year.
Credit risk arising from a customer's failure to pay its debt at the due date is tracked at the level of each entity under the supervision of the financial managers. In the most important cases, the relevant financial managers are assisted by a credit manager, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Group's debt recovery service. This tracking is based mainly on an analysis of the amounts due and can be accompanied by a more detailed study of the creditworthiness of some debtors. Based on the assessment of the financial managers, entities may be required to hedge their credit risk by obtaining bank guarantees from first-tier financial institutions and insurance companies, and guarantee deposits from customers.
The credit risk is mitigated by the following guarantees and commitments received:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions of euros) | Value of accounts receivable |

| Guarantees from the parent company | 7.7 | 7.7 | 1.8 | 2.6 | |
| TOTAL | 86.8 | 29.1 | 97.9 | 19.1 |
Guarantee deposits are recognised as financial liabilities. Bank guarantees and guarantees from parent companies are not shown on the balance sheet.
The Group's ten largest clients accounted for 33.4% of revenues as of 30 June 2025 (32% as of 30 June 2024). The top five account for 21.7% of revenues (21% as of 30 June 2024).

7.4 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Accounting principles
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash mainly comprises cash in hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents mainly consist of short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less, term accounts, as well as mutual fund investments that are easily convertible into a known amount of cash, the liquid value of which is determined and published daily and for which the risk of a change in value is insignificant. Mutual fund investments with fair value option through profit or loss are carried at fair value, with the resulting realised or unrealised gains or losses arising from the change in fair value recognised under the financial result.
Financial debt
Financial debts comprise bank loans, bond loans and structured debts. They are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs. These costs are recognised as loan set-up fees and premiums and are spread out over the period of the loan.
Financial assets
With the exception of derivative financial instruments and non-consolidated investments financial assets are recorded at amortised cost. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when there is evidence of an impairment loss. Non-consolidated financial assets are measured at fair value.
Financial liabilities
Lease liabilities recognised in exchange for rights of use correspond to the aggregate of discounted future payments under the lease contracts. The discount rate used to measure these payables is determined by contract based on the estimated marginal debt rate of the entity that holds the contract.
When the Group grants firm or conditional purchase commitments to non-controlling shareholders, the corresponding amount of noncontrolling interests is reclassified as a financial liability to reflect the fair value of the commitment. The financial liability is revalued at each balance sheet date with a corresponding entry in shareholders' equity if no further details are provided by the IFRS standards.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives that do not qualify as hedging instruments are recognised at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognised in the financial result. Derivatives qualifying as hedging instruments are measured and recognised on the basis of hedge accounting criteria.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge cash flows (forwards and forwards KI) and the net investment of its subsidiaries in Mexico, Singapore and Dubai (cross currency swap). Forwards, forwards KI, and the interest rate component of the cross-currency swap are recorded as financial assets or liabilities depending on the position while the exchange component is included in the Group's net debt. Hedging transactions are carried out using derivative financial instruments, the fair value changes of which are intended to offset the exposure of the hedged items to these same changes. Changes in fair value are recognised in shareholders' equity, within other recyclable gains and losses in comprehensive income, for the effective portion of the hedging relationship, while changes in fair value for the ineffective portion are recognised in the financial result.
Cumulative changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument previously recognised in equity are reclassified to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects the income statement. The gains and losses thus transferred are recognised in the income statement at the level of the hedged item impact.
7.4.1 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are detailed as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |

With the exception of the credit facility granted by Exim India to the company Network Access Associates Ltd. and the operating credit line granted by Indian banks to OneWeb India, all the Eutelsat Group's external financial debt is denominated in euros.
The Eutelsat S.A. term loan and Capex financing lines are subject to a financial covenant which stipulates a ratio of total net debt to adjusted EBITDA of less than or equal to 4.00:1.
Eutelsat Communications has also obtained from its lenders an increase in the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio from 4.00 to 4.75 for the test dates of 30 June 2023, 31 December 2023, 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2024, and then to 4.50 for the test dates of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2025, and 4.00 for the test dates of 30 June 2026, 31 December 2026 and 30 June 2027.
Under the term loan covenants, each lender may request early repayment of all amounts due in the event of a change of control for Eutelsat S.A. or Eutelsat Communications.
The bonds issued by the company Eutelsat S.A. are also subject to a covenant under which each lender may request early repayment of all amounts due in the event of a change of control of Eutelsat S.A. or Eutelsat Communications accompanied by a downgrade in Eutelsat S.A.'s credit rating.
As of 30 June 2025, the Group was in compliance with all the banking covenants.
With the exception of the credit facility granted by Exim India to the company Network Access Associates Ltd. which benefits from a cash collateral granted by Eutelsat Communications, the credit agreements include neither a guarantee by the Group nor a pledge of assets to lenders, but do contain restrictive clauses (subject to the usual exceptions provided for in this type of loan agreement) which limit the ability of Eutelsat Communications and its subsidiaries, in particular to grant liens on a borrower's assets, incur additional debt, dispose of assets, enter into mergers or acquisitions, sales of assets and finance lease transactions (except those carried out within the Group and expressly provided for in the loan agreement) and modify the nature of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
On 15 November 2024, Eutelsat Communications, Eutelsat S.A. and Network Access Associates Ltd formally obtained authorisation from the various groups of lenders concerned to proceed with the partial sale of the passive ground segment infrastructures. Following the obtention of these agreements, on 2 December 2024, Eutelsat Group exercised the put option signed with the EQT Infrastructure VI fund (EQT) on 9 August 2024, for a majority stake in a newly-created entity that will be endowed with its passive ground segment infrastructure assets. The exercise of the option led to the signature of a share purchase agreement (SPA) between Eutelsat and EQT.
The credit arrangements include a commitment to maintain "launch-plus-one-year" insurance policies for any satellite located at 13° East and, for any other satellites, a commitment not to have more than one satellite that is not covered by a launch insurance policy.
In addition, as of 30 June 2025, the Group has confirmed credit facilities for an aggregate undrawn amount of 550 million euros (550 million euros as of 30 June 2024). These credit facilities are subject to banking covenants similar to those in place for the term loans and the Capex financing lines.
The schedule of debt maturities, excluding issue costs and premiums and accrued interest not yet due as of 30 June 2025, is as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | Amount | Maturity within 1 year |
Maturity between 1 and 5 years |

7.4.6 Risk management
The Group is exposed to market risks, principally in terms of currency and interest rates. To address this, the Group uses a certain number of financial derivatives. The Group does not engage in financial transactions whose associated risk cannot be quantified at maturity, i.e. the Group never sells assets it does not hold, or about which it is uncertain whether it will subsequently hold them. The objective is to limit, where appropriate, the fluctuation of revenues and cash-flows due to variations in interest rates and foreign-exchange rates.
Foreign exchange risk
Through the sale of its satellite capacity, the Group is a net receiver of currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar. Consequently, the Group is thus primarily exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate.
In order to hedge foreign exchange risks, the Group may be compelled to use forward sales or synthetic forward transactions with knock-in option of U.S. dollars against the euro, which can be exercised or not depending on the exchange rate at their expiry date. However, the Group cannot guarantee that it will be able to systematically hedge all of its U.S. dollar-denominated contracts.
Additionally, to hedge the translation risk arising either from foreign investments or intragroup financing, the Group may also create liabilities (respectively assets) denominated in the currency of the cash flows generated by these assets (respectively liabilities). The hedging instruments used by the Group may include currency derivatives (cross-currency swaps and forwards) documented as net foreign investment hedges. The Group thus put in place euro-U.S. dollar currency swaps for a notional amount of 680.2 million dollars to hedge its net investment in the subsidiaries based in Mexico, Singapore and Dubai. These Cross Currency Swaps matured in January 2025.
In addition, intra-group loans are mainly hedged using plain-vanilla currency swaps and forward transactions.
Given its exposure to foreign currency risk, the Group estimates that a 10% increase in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate (excluding foreign exchange derivatives) would result in a 59.2 million euro decline in the Group's revenue and a 30.2 million euro decline in operating expenses. It would also result in a 176.9 million euros negative variation in the Group's translation reserve.
Interest rate risk
The Group manages its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by maintaining a portion of its debt at fixed rates (Eutelsat S.A. bonds) and, where necessary, by applying a hedging or pre-hedging policy.
Considering the full range of financial instruments available to the Group as of 30 June 2025, an increase of ten basis points (+0.1%) over the EURIBOR interest rate would have a non-material impact on the interest expense with the revaluation of the financial instruments having an impact on the income statement.
Financial counterparty risk
Financial counterparty risk includes issuer risk, execution risk in connection with derivatives or monetary instruments, and credit risk related to liquidity and forward investments. The Group minimises its exposure to issuer, execution and credit risk by acquiring financial products from first-rate financial institutions and banks. Exposure to these risks is closely monitored.
The Group does not foresee any losses resulting from a failure by its counterparts to respect their commitments under the agreements it has concluded.
As of 30 June 2025, the counterparty risk associated with these operations is not deemed to be significant.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by taking into account the maturity of financial investments, financial assets and estimated future cash flows from the operating activities.
The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between the continuity of its funding needs and their flexibility through the use of overdraft facilities. term loans, revolving lines of credit from banks, bond loans and satellite lease agreements.
Contemplated capital increase
On 19 June 2025, the Eutelsat Group announced a contemplated capital increase in the amount of 1.35 billion euros, anchored by its key reference shareholders, to secure the execution of its long-term strategic vision.
Following this announcement, Eutelsat plans to raise 1.35 billion in equity by way of (i) a reserved capital increase of 716 million euros at a price per share of 4 euros, representing a +32% premium to Eutelsat's volume-weighted average share price (VWAP) over the last 30 days on Euronext Paris (the "Reserved Capital Increase"), to be subscribed by the French State via the Agence des Participations de l'Etat ("APE"), Bharti Space Limited, CMA CGM and the Fonds Stratégique de Participations ("FSP"), and (ii) a rights issue for 634 million euros with maintained preferential subscription rights (the "Rights Issue with Preferential Subscription Rights") which would be subscribed by the above investors pro-rata their shareholdings post the completion of the Reserved Capital Increase.
On 10 July 2025, the Eutelsat Group announced that the United Kingdom, via The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology of the United Kingdom, intended to participate in the contemplated capital increase in the amount of 163.3 million euros, as announced by Eutelsat on 19 June 2025.
This additional participation from another key reference shareholder will increase the total amount to be raised to 1.5 billion euros, further underpinning the execution of Eutelsat's long-term strategic vision. The Reserved Capital Increase would amount to 828 million euros, of which 551 million euros to be subscribed by the French State via APE, 30 million euros by Bharti Space Limited, 90 million euros by the British government, 100 million euros by CMA CGM and 57 million euros by FSP. The subsequent Rights Issue with Preferential Subscription Rights should amount to 672 million euros.
The Reserved Capital Increase and the Rights Issue with Preferential Subscription Rights are expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2025.
Financing transactions realised during the previous financial year
Furthermore, during the previous financial year, on 8 April 2024, Eutelsat S.A. and Eutelsat Communications entered into a series of refinancing transactions to anticipate the expiry, in September and October 2025, of certain financing arrangements including:
- a 2% 800 million euros unsecured bond issued on 25 September 2018 and maturing on 2 October 2025 (ISIN: FR0013369493);
- a confirmed, syndicated credit facility in the amount of 450 million euros maturing on 30 September 2025;
- a confirmed, syndicated credit facility in the amount of 200 million euros maturing on 30 September 2025.
The transactions entered into were as follows:
■ Eutelsat S.A. issued, at par, a new 9.75% senior unsecured bond in the amount of 600 million euros maturing 13 April 2029 (ISIN: XS2796660384 for the RegS portion and XS2796660970 for the 144A portion). This bond has early redemption options in favour of the borrower: on 13 April 2026 at 104.875 vs. par, on 13 April 2027 at 102.438 vs. par and on 13 April 2028 at par.
On its issue, this bond was rated Ba3 (Moody's)/B+ (S&P)/BB+ (Fitch).
This bond has a number of incurrence covenants including:
- a limit on payments to the benefit of third parties, outside the company's normal operations (including investments, financing and taxes), that may be made by Eutelsat S.A. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. These payments are not capped as long as Eutelsat S.A.'s consolidated leverage ratio, pro forma of these disbursements, remains below 2.75 times, assuming no default or event of default,
- a maximum disbursement budget for OneWeb Holding Limited and its subsidiaries, excluding cash flows linked to the operating activities, if the pro forma consolidated leverage ratio of the planned disbursements exceeds 2.75 times. This budget is capped at the higher of 1,400 million euros or 175% of Eutelsat S.A.'s consolidated EBITDA and remains subject to a pro forma consolidated net leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 times; this is subject to no default or event of default occurring;
- in parallel, Eutelsat S.A. organised a tender offer at 98 vs. par for its existing 800 million euros bond maturing in 2025 mentioned above. The results of the tender offer were as follows:
- a total principal amount of Existing Bonds tendered and accepted for purchase at 98 vs. par: 623.4 million euros, resulting in a cash inflow of 610.9 million euros,
- accrued interest on the existing bonds tendered and accepted for purchase: 1.03279%, resulting in a cash inflow of 6.4 million euros,
- a total principal amount of Bonds maturing in 2025 remaining in circulation after the Settlement Date: 176.6 million euros;
- on the credit facilities,
- Eutelsat S.A. sent its lenders an early termination in due form of its syndicated facilities in the amounts of 450 million euros and 200 million euros mentioned above; these cancellations came into effect on 8 April 2024; none of these facilities had been drawn down on that date and their cancellation did not give rise to a repayment or penalty in cash,
- Eutelsat S.A. entered into a new 450 million euro committed and unsecured syndicated credit facility with a group of leading banks. This credit facility will mature on 4 April 2027 and can be extended for a further two twelve-month periods at Eutelsat S.A.'s request, subject to the banks' acceptance. As of 30 June 2025, this facility had not been drawn down. In this new facility, the leverage covenant has been maintained at 4.00 and the test dates remain unchanged (June and December). As of 30 June 2025, this facility had not been drawn down,
- lastly, on 8 April 2024, Eutelsat Communications sent an early partial cancellation of 100 million euros of its 200 million euros unsecured committed credit facility. At that time, the credit facility had not been drawn down and its partial cancellation did not give rise to a cash outflow. As of 30 June 2025, the remaining 100 million euros credit facility had not been drawn down.

7.7 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Accounting principles
Costs for capital increases
External costs directly related to increases in capital and reduction of capital are allocated to additional paid-in capital, net of taxes when an income tax saving is generated.
Treasury stock
Treasury stock is recognised by reducing shareholders' equity on the basis of the acquisition cost. When the shares are sold, any gains and losses are recognised directly in consolidated reserves net of tax and are not included under income for the year.
7.7.1 Share capital
As of 30 June 2025, the share capital of Eutelsat Communications is composed of 475,178,378 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of 1 euro per share.
As of this same date. the Group holds 373,992 treasury shares in the amount of 1.1 million euros acquired under a liquidity contract (497,082 shares in the amount of 1.9 million euros as of 30 June 2024). The aggregate amount of treasury stock is deducted from shareholders' equity.
7.7.2 Dividends
No dividends were distributed during the fiscal year ended 30 June 2025.
The Group does not intend to propose the distribution of a dividend to the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on 20 November 2025.
7.7.3 Change in the revaluation surplus for derivative instruments
The changes in the revaluation surplus for derivative instruments qualified as hedging instruments (tax effect included) during the fiscal year break down as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | Total |
|---|---|
| Balance as of 30 June 2024 | 37.5 |
| Changes in fair value within equity that can be reclassified to income | 9.9 |
| BALANCE AS OF 30 JUNE 2025 | 47.4 |
The revaluation reserve for the derivative instruments does not include the unwinding of forwards.
7.7.4 Translation reserves
The translation reserve (tax effect included) has changed as follows over the year:
| (in millions of euros) | Total |
|---|---|
| Balance as of 30 June 2024 | 193.0 |
| Net change over the period | (157.5) |
| BALANCE AS OF 30 JUNE 2025 | 35.5 |
The main currency generating translation differences is the U.S. dollar.
As of 30 June 2025, the translation reserve no longer includes documented cross-currency swaps used to hedge net foreign investments.
7.8 PROVISIONS
Accounting principles
A provision is made when, at the balance sheet date, (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount involved can be made. The amount recognised as a provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the closing date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision will be equal to the discounted value of anticipated expenditure needed to settle the obligation. Increases in provisions recorded to reflect the passage of time and the effect of discounting are recognised as financial expenses in the income statement.
The changes in provisions between 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025 are as follows:

7.8.1 Financial guarantee granted to a pension fund
Eutelsat S.A. gave a financial guarantee to the pension fund administering the pension scheme established by the Inter-Governmental Organisation (IGO) when the latter transferred its operations to Eutelsat S.A. in 2001. This defined-benefit pension scheme was closed, and the vested pension rights were frozen prior to the transfer. The financial guarantee provided by Eutelsat S.A. is valued and recorded in the same manner as a define-benefit pension commitment, although the Group did not directly take over the statutory commitments contracted with the IGO. This guarantee can be called under certain conditions to compensate for future under-funding of the plan, with no quantitative threshold triggering the call on this guarantee.
In 2017, the financial guarantee was called for the sum of 35.9 million euros based on the projected deficits of the scheme and an agreement was reached with the pension fund for nine payments of 4 million euros spread out from 30 June 2017 to 30 June 2025.
In 2021, a new agreement replacing the previous version was entered into with the pension fund, increasing the total payment due to the fund to 29 million euros as of 30 June 2023, with a schedule through to 30 June 2029.
These payments may be adjusted according to possible changes in the future financial position which will be assessed on an annual basis.
The changes in the plan's obligations and assets between 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025 are as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of the obligations at beginning of period | 138.8 | 145.2 |
| Service cost for the period | — | — |
| Financial cost | 5.5 | 5.4 |
| Actuarial differences related to financial assumptions: (gains)/losses | 9.2 | (3.5) |
| Benefits paid | (8.3) | (8.1) |
| Gain linked to the effects of changes in demographic assumptions | — | — |
| PRESENT VALUE OF THE OBLIGATIONS AT END OF PERIOD | 145.2 | 139.0 |
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value of plan assets at beginning of period | 123.1 | 126.8 |
| Expected return on plan assets | 5.0 | 4.8 |
| Actuarial differences related to financial assumptions: gains/(losses) | 2.6 | (0.6) |
| Contributions paid | 4.4 | 10.1 |
| Benefits paid | (8.3) | (8.1) |
| FAIR VALUE OF PLAN ASSETS AT END OF PERIOD | 126.8 | 132.9 |
The weighted average period of the obligation is 12.38 years.
The amounts included in the fair value of the plan assets do not include any financial instruments issued by Eutelsat S.A. or any property or movable assets owned or used by Eutelsat S.A. The actual return on the plan's assets amounts to 7.6 million euros and 4.2 million euros as of 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025 respectively.
The actuarial valuations were realised based on the following assumptions:
| 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 3.8% | 3.8% |
| Rate for pension increases | 2.2% | 2.0% |
A 25-basis point decrease in the discount rates would result in a 4.2 million euros increase to the provision.
The changes in provisions over the two fiscal years were as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Provision at beginning of period | 15.7 | 18.3 |
| Net (income)/charge recognised in the income statement | 0.5 | 0.6 |
| Actuarial (gains)/losses | 6.5 | (2.9) |
| Contributions paid | (4.4) | (10.1) |
| PROVISION AT END OF PERIOD | 18.4 | 5.9 |
7.8.2 Retirement and related benefits
Accounting principles
The Group's retirement schemes consist of defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
Expenses for defined-benefit pension schemes are recognised as "Staff costs" based on the contributions made or outstanding for the fiscal year for which services are delivered by recipients of the scheme.
The defined-benefit plans are plans for which the Group has contractually agreed to provide a specific amount or level of benefits. These benefits are assessed using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial method, which involves forecasting the amounts of the expected future payments on the basis of demographic (staff turnover, mortality and age at retirement) and financial assumptions (salary growth and discounting). The pension cost for the period consisting of the service cost is posted to "Staff costs" and the discounting effects are recognised in the financial result. The actuarial differences arising from changes in actuarial assumptions or experience differences are recognised as "Other items of comprehensive income".
Defined-benefit pension schemes
The Group's defined-benefit pension scheme commitments mainly include the retirement benefits plan for Eutelsat S.A. staff.
As of 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025, the position is as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of the obligations at beginning of period | 9.0 | 10.1 |
| Service cost for the period | 0.7 | 0.8 |
| Financial cost | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| Actuarial differences | 0.5 | (0.8) |
| Termination indemnities paid | (0.5) | (0.6) |
| Others | — | (0.3) |
| PRESENT VALUE OF THE OBLIGATIONS AT END OF PERIOD | 10.1 | 9.8 |
The weighted average period of the obligation is 8.83 years (9 years in 2024).
The actuarial valuations were realised based on the following assumptions:
| 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 3.8% | 3.6% |
| Rate for pension growth | 2.5% | 2.5% |
The discount rate used in the actuarial valuation is determined based on high-grade corporate bonds (AA and AAA) with maturities consistent with those of the relevant scheme.
Defined-contribution pension schemes
Employer contributions made under the mandatory pension scheme in France during the fiscal year amounted to a respective 6.2 million euros and 6.2 million euros as of 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025.
The Group also has a supplementary defined contribution funded plan for its employees (excluding directors and company officers who are employees), which is financed by employee and employer contributions representing 6% of gross annual salary, limited to eight times the French Social Security cap. The employer contributions paid under these schemes amounted to a respective 2.0 million euros and 2.0 million euros as of 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025.
7.8.3 Litigation and contingent liabilities
Accounting principles
In the course of its business activities, the Group is involved in legal actions and commercial disputes. The Group exercises its judgement to assess the risks incurred on a case-by-case basis and a provision is recorded to cover an expected outflow of resources. In cases viewed as unsubstantiated or insufficiently argued, no provision is recognised.
Eutelsat S.A. was the subject to several accounting verification procedures by the tax authorities covering the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2020.
As of 30 June 2025, all the accounting verification procedures initiated by the tax authorities were closed.
However, in February 2024, the Group filed an application with the Administrative Court for a tax reassessment maintained in respect of the fiscal year ended 30 June 2014. The proceedings are in progress and the amounts involved have been paid in full to the Treasury.
Similarly, in January 2025, the Group filed a contentious claim with the French tax authorities in respect of a tax reassessment maintained in respect of the fiscal year ended 30 June 2018. The amounts due in respect of this reassessment have been paid in full to the Treasury. As such, there is no related tax risk, as the claims concern amounts already paid.
7.9 TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
7.9.1 Deferred tax assets and liabilities
Accounting principles
Deferred taxes are the result of temporary differences arising between the tax base of an asset or liability and its book value. They are recognised for each fiscal entity in respect of all temporary differences, with some exceptions, using the balance sheet liability method.
Accordingly, all deferred tax liabilities are recognised:
- 1. for all taxable temporary differences, except when the deferred tax liability arises from the non-tax-deductible impairment of goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and which, as of the transaction date, affects neither the accounting or the taxable profit or loss; and
- 2. for taxable temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group controls the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax loss carry-forwards and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which these deductible temporary differences can be charged. However, a deferred tax asset is not recognised if it arises from a deductible temporary difference generated by the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than in a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor the taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at balance sheet date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of all or part of these deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred taxes are not discounted and are recorded as non-current assets and liabilities.
The changes in the breakdown of the deferred tax balances between 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025 were as follows:
| Foreign exchange impact and |

| Deferred tax liabilities | (133.6) | (102.9) | ||||||
| TOTAL | (103.3) | (74.2) |
The deferred tax asset or liability corresponds to the aggregate of the consolidated entities' net positions.
Deferred tax liabilities relate mainly to the taxable temporary differences generated by:
- the accounting treatment at fair value of customer contracts and relationships and other intangible assets in the context of the acquisitions of Eutelsat S.A. and Satmex;
- the accelerated depreciation of satellites for tax purposes.
The timeline for the recovery of deferred tax assets on carry-forward losses is presented in the table below:
| (in millions of euros) | Amount | Maturity within 1 year |
Maturity between 1 and 5 years |
Maturity exceeding 5 years |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Timelines of activated tax loss carry-forwards | 138.9 | — | — | — | 138.9 |
| TOTAL | 138.9 | — | — | — | 138.9 |
As of 30 June 2025, the tax loss carry-forwards that have not given rise to the recognition of amounts on the assets side of the balance sheet (deferred tax assets) amount to 2.9 billion euros (3.2 billion euros as of 30 June 2024).
| (in millions of euros) | Amount | Maturity within 1 year |

| TOTAL | 2,903.7 | 0.1 | 1.3 | 5.0 | 2,897.3 |
The reform of international taxation established by the OCDE, known as "Pillar Two", consists of ensuring that tax is paid on income generated in each of the jurisdictions where large multinational companies operate, at a minimum tax rate of 15%. In the first year of application of these provisions for the Group, an additional tax of 0.1 million euros was recognised in respect of Pillar Two.
7.9.2 Tax disputes
Within the ordinary course of their business, some Group's companies are involved in tax disputes.
Eutelsat S.A. has thus been the subject of several accounting verification procedures covering the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2020. As of 30 June 2025, these proceedings initiated by the tax authorities were closed.
As of 30 June 2025, all the accounting verification procedures initiated by the tax authorities were closed.
However, the Group has filed an application with the Administrative Court for a tax reassessment maintained in respect of the fiscal year ended 30 June 2014. The proceedings are in progress and the amounts involved have been paid in full to the Treasury.
Furthermore, the Group filed a contentious claim with the French tax authorities in January 2025 concerning a tax reassessment maintained in respect of the fiscal year ended 30 June 2018. The amounts due in respect of this reassessment have been paid in full to the Treasury.
NOTE 8 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
IAS 24 (IAS 24.3 and 24.9) requires the disclosure of related party relationships, transactions and balances, including commitments, in the consolidated financial statements of a parent company or an investor that has joint control or significant influence over a Group entity.
The related parties are composed of the:

- Group's key management personnel (including members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee); and
- any entity over which the Group exercises significant influence. Currently this is limited solely to First Tech Web Company Limited (the Group's joint-venture in Saudi Arabia, "NEOM JV").
8.1 COMPENSATION OF THE KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
The Group considers that. in the context of Eutelsat's governance. the notion of "Key management personnel" includes the members of the Executive Committee chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, and the members of the Board of Directors.
The compensation allocated to the members of the Executive Committee breaks down as follows:
| (in millions of euros) | 30 June 2024 | 30 June 2025 |

Debts mainly include the leases for the Express AT1, Express AT2, Express AM6 and Eutelsat 36C satellites.
(2) Corresponding to the past service costs of defined benefit pension plans.
(3) Corresponding to the expense recorded in the income statement for share-based compensation.
NOTE 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 10 July 2025, the United Kingdom announced its commitment to investing a total of 163.3 million euros within the framework of the Reserved Capital Increase and the Rights Issue with Preferential Subscription Rights pro-rata its shareholding post the realisation of the Reserved Capital Increase. It joins the French State via the APE (Agence des Participations de l'État), Bharti Space Limited, CMA CGM and FSP (together the "Reserved Capital Increase Investors") who had already committed to subscribing to the contemplated capital raise as anchor shareholders, as announced on 19 June 2025. This additional participation on the part of another key reference shareholder will increase the total amount to be raised to 1.5 billion euros, further underpinning the execution of Eutelsat's long-term strategic vision.
The Reserved Capital Increase would thus amount to 828 million euros and the subsequent Rights Issue with Preferential Subscription Rights to 672 million euros.
Following these two aforementioned transactions and subject to the participation of other investors, the French State would hold around 29.65% of the capital and voting rights, while Bharti Space Limited, His Majesty's Government, CMA CGM and FSP would respectively hold 17.88%, 10.89%, 7.46% and 4.99% of the share capital and voting rights.
These agreements should be realised before the end of the 2025 calendar year but remain inter alia subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders planned for the end of the 2025 third quarter, and to the customary approvals and conditions.
